Why Is Storage Spaces being so weird here, I used a USB interface to add a spare disk to replace a failed one and I've retired the USB disk but it refuses to move the remaining 1.55% used off that drive onto the new one (at 97.8%)

code:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Repair-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "DATA"
Repair-VirtualDisk : Not enough available capacity
Activity ID: {cd0fec7d-8314-40b0-ba63-b76b197f1700}

   ception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : StorageWMI 40000,Repair-VirtualDisk

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-StorageJob

Name        IsBackgroundTask ElapsedTime JobState  PercentComplete BytesProcessed BytesTotal
----        ---------------- ----------- --------  --------------- -------------- ----------

Why is it refusing to move that last 86 GB to the new drive. What am I doing wrong here (other than completely misunderstand how Storage Spaces works of course). Blows my mind that I have to add a disk to remove a disk and now I can't remove the original disk I added to repalce the failed one in the first place.

EDIT: I've tried Optimize-StoragePool on the Pool that has this Storage Space multiple times, it just refuses to move that 86 GB somewhere else.

I redid the Storage Pool with the correct Interleave, but why isn't giving me the option to remove any drives or prep them for removal, I could have sworn I re-did it right for RAID6-ish, see NumberOfColumns and PhysicalDiskRedundancy, just worried if a disk drops again Ill add a new one and be unable to remove the old one:
